And there's a comic version of the Cartoon Network 'toon. Seriously.
Pardon my transposition, actually that's what I meant. Emmett's been reading it.
This girl at school? She told me that gelatin is made from ground-up cow's feet and that every time you eat Jell-O there's some cow out there limping around without any feet. But I told her that I'm sure the cow is dead before they cut its feet off, right?

Well, your transposition was also correct -- there apparently was a 'toon of the comic, back in the day. (According to chatty!co-worker, who knows his comics.)

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
always had that extra level of Erroll Flynn joie in battle. Also, the absolute confidence of his acrobatic background and fighting ability. Plus the smartass quipping.
Aha! That must be why I hate him.
Happy superheroes put my teeth on edge, and quippy superheroes need to have their underpants set on fire immediately.

Yeah, but Dick's hardly happy. Dick, in fact, is so far from happy, he can't even smell the hamburgers.

Two words: Tim Drake.
By all rights, he should be an annoying Mary Sue. Despite this, I ♥ him like crazy. Mmm. Want boy.
I totally get why Dick Grayson appeals, but there was a time when he could've been something like Scott Summers
I never pinged for Scott Summers. I was always into Wolverine. And Gambit. I think it's because Scott's flaws just aren't that interesting to me.

Especially now his underpants are on fire.

Yes, but if Nutty sets his underpants on fire, then he'll be desperately unhappy and naked.

I know! And yet, he's fabulous. There's a crazy, calculating edge to the boy, and it's acknowledged, which is I think why he works.

Given how often he's ditching them, I don't think he'd have felt more than a tingle.
He's kind of a needy manho.

with a gleam in my eye, and an almost airtight alibi
Devin Grayson is also an out lesbian, which is even rarer in comics than being a het woman.
Some Buffista who I cannot recall but whom I thank again nonetheless sent me a book of interviews with comics writers, about how they work and how they got into it (which I would be happy to add to our Comicsflix pile, now that I think of it). Devin was the only woman interviewed, and one of the writers I liked the best from the book -- and I wasn't even reading Batfamily comics at the time! I got the rec for Nightwing/Huntress based on liking the interview, and now -- well, now I'm buying the latest issue of Birds of Prey to read on the LIRR and wondering why Huntress is surprised to find out Babs and Dick were an item when she was the one who called it that they were going to get together in the mini!
And, for the record, Tim Drake has yet to do anything for me. I don't get it.
